To Trees, ToO.
Topeka Capital.

Trees are going off the globe by millions
every year, and some effort at replacing
them should be made. In "Gulliver's
Travels Dean Swift says OF one of his
characters shat he gave it for his opinion
that whoever could make two ears of corn,
or two blades Of grass, to grow upon a
spot of ground where only one grew be-
fore, would deserve better of mankind,
and do more essential service to his coun-
try than tho whole race of politicians put
together" The same sentiments may be
applied to the planting of trees.

Saved His Life.

Mr. D. I. Wilcoxson, of Horse Cave,
KY, says he was for many years, badly
afflicted with Phtisic, also Dialects; the
pains were almost uncomfortable, and
would sometimes almost throw him into
commissions. He tried Electric Bitters
and got relief from the first bottle, and
after taking six bottles, was entirely
cured, and had gained in flesh eighteen
pounds. Says he positively believes he
would have died, had it not been for the
relief afforded by Electric Bitters. Sold

FURIOUS FIRE.
Graham and Norton Counties In
vaded.
Several Human Lives Destroyed
Live Stock and Other Property
Deyoured.

Reports concerning the destruction OF
life and property caused by the great
prairie fire that swept over the eastern
portion of Norton and Graham counties,
Saturday afternoon and evening last, are
yet meagre and unsatisfactory, bat
enough is known to appal the stoutest
heart.
The fire started near Nicodemus, Ora
ham county. The wind, which was blow
ing gale of at least
FORTY MILES AN HOUR,
Carried the flames over and through the
dry grass at frightful speed. The gen.
eral destruction of property commenced
near Roscoe, Graham county. Here the
fire spread over the country for fully two
and a half miles in width, and as the
wind carried it north was constantly
spreading until it was seven miles wide
when it crossed the North Fork of the
Solomon river, three miles east OF Dins-
more.
A few houses were burned, but also
every stable with its stock of hay and
cribs of grain was burned, leaving hun
dreds of farmers destitute.
IT Is PITIFUL SIGHT
To pass over the burned district and see
the thousands of burned chickens, tur-
keys and hundreds Of hogs with occasional
horses and numerous cattle. Almost
every farmer has lost from fifty to five
hundred bushels of corn, besides small
grain.
The people fought nobly for their lives
and property, but it was no use, the prop
erty must go, and unless they fed, their
lives were forfeited. 1t is definitely
known that from
SEVEN To TEN LIVES
Were lost, bat thus far we have been I'M
able to procure the names. -Four chill
dren persisted in one family. The deaths
here mentioned do not include those
spoken of below, who persisted west Of
Millbrook.
How far the fire extended north from
the Solomon, we do not know, but it
must have travelled long distance. At
the same time a fire swept down the
south fork Of the Solomon, to a point
near Millbrook, sweeping everything in
its path, and
BURNING SIX PERSONS TO DEATH,
Father, mother and four children, large
number of cattle, horses, hogs and poul-
try. In one instance woman had given
birth to a child when the fire was dis
covered approaching. Her husband took
her in his arms and started for the
plowed ground, but before he reached it
the woman's clothing was on fire. He
succeeded in putting out the fire and
saving her life. The babe, less than an
hour old, with the other members of
THE FAMILY, WAS SAVED,
But the house and its contents was de-
stroyed, as well as the stock, grain and
hay on the farm. Hundreds of narrow
escapes could be told.
Saturday WAS frightful day, one long
to be remembered by great many fami
lies in Graham and Norton counties.

A Nashville (Tenn.) special Of the 9th says:
Eighteen years ago the doors OF the state prison
closed upon Frank Riddle. OF Maury County, who
had been sentenced TO life Imprisonment for muir.
dering German peddler. There were doubts as
TO the guilt OF Riddle, who, refusing to acknowl.
edge the crime and accept a term OF nfteen
years, insisted upon plea OF not guilty. Tie
trial resulted In his conviction and the defendant
appealed TO the Supreme Court which granted q
new hearing. A second verdict against Riddle
was rendered and he was sent TO the penitentiary
Year after year passed One after another OF tle
convicts died, and Riddle almost abandoned hope OF
obtaining his freedom. While Governor TAYLOR
w;ss seated in his Office to-day a woman walked
into the apartment and presented 10 the governor
petition for executive clemcncy, signed by the
lessees and every officer OF the prison, who stated
that Riddles long incarceration had served tie
ends OF justice. Accompanying the petition was a
letter written by the woman VINO bore IL. ATer
the governor had read the documents the lady ruse
and, addressing him, said:
governor Taylor: When that man was ac-
cuscd OF murder was engaged TO be married TO
him. did not believe him guilty, and did not
break the engagement During the two or three
years That the trial was pending sti believed I'm
him. During the eighteen years OF his confine-
ment have stuck 20 iim. His parents have DIED.

and have loved Linn through all these long, weary
ask you To think him an innocent man. but for the
sake OF two lives that may Yet be happy implOre

Without waiting TO hear the governors decision
she arose and left the Office and the capitol When
the governor lad cleared his eyes OF tears he said
TO Bishop Cranberry: ''Such devotion ana con-
may have deserved, it does look as II that woman
ought TO have a chance at happiness"
